My 6 Favorite DIY Masks

Having a spa day is one of the best luxuries ever, but it’s so expensive and who really has the time? I’ve always been one to experiment with at-home skin treatments because one, I think it’s really fun and two, there are so many things you can use from your kitchen.

Sometimes natural products are the best fix-its for breakouts, dry skin or other issues. You’d be surprised what you can do with an avocado.

Avocado & Olive Oil

I'm sure there are recipes with more components, but this was a self-made discovery. The winter has really dried me out this year and knowing the hydrating properties of these two ingredients, I mixed em together to see what would happen.

Mash up half of an avocado, add 2 tablespoons of olive oil and leave on for 20 minutes. Rinse off and moisturize!

Strawberries & Baking Soda

Another at-home experiment that really worked: strawberries mixed with baking soda. This is an exfoliating mask that scrubs and fights redness. I use baking soda as a treatment for dark spots, but I combined it with strawberries to exfoliate as well.

Mash up 2 strawberries, combine with 1 tablespoon of baking soda and apply to face. Leave on for 15-20 minutes before rinsing with warm water.

Sleeping on your face can cause some serious acne problems. This is a habit of the most of people who do not suffer from acne, don’t even think about it. If you try usually the sleep on your flatulence, sleep on your side, or on your back. In any situation wash your pillow case frequently.
